hyper independence but yearns to be taken care of

[Embermansi]

Me being the eldest daughter can really relate to this where i just feel guilty for not being able to provide for my family, tears are being considered as weakness ....

[JuneBug]

As the oldest daughter I can confirm this is true, I may act masculine, but it’s mainly because I want to prove that I am capable of standing up without breaking down, and I want to teach my siblings to be stronger and more mindful, I might come off as rude and I’ll admit it’s true and it’s never okay, but I do this because I want to be a reliable source for my siblings so they can learn the complications and obstacles that life has in store for them, and I want them to be optimistic when I do end up not being there for them

same here. Super independent in any way possible, taking care of everyone around me but still the only thing that makes me feel truly loved is being taken care of.

She so damn pretty
Her friends are so lucky
for having such a beautiful girl inside out as their friend

This is so true. I'm the first daughter in my family and my mum is always telling me off for being so tomboyish and never wanting to do anything girly. Can't blame her 😂

[Littlesimbim]

We love u and we are thankful for all tips you share with us!❤

[SidnaSyeda]

Couldn't agree more and trust me you change in my life in so many ways I couldn't tell ♥️ I love you always

[Thanisha.]

So true especially when you're a teenager with a year younger brother then the life is harder than expected 😢

[akhterjahan]

Am the youngest child but honestly this is relatable to me ...now when I think maybe am so masculine for this reason sometimes attracted to masculinity

[allahlovesyou]

As an youngest daughter i feel the same.

everybody in the comments just seems like to be talking about me as a 14 year old oldest daughter yet to be 15 on july 22nd this year i am hyper independant since i had no other choice amd was forced to be that way that has now become an addiction an need that when im not independant i feel worthless i have big dreams but soo confused but have nobody to seek guidance from even if i do i wont ask for it unless they come and ask me first other wise ill just let guilt take in rn i feel as if im not i want to be able to take of my family and me being independant but my goals just keep getting blurry and drifted apart to the point i dont even know myself i would i know others??? im soo drifted from family yet still care and overthink like shit aint got no friends as being the eldest made me more mature for my age than i should have been and i feel an age gap with people my own age inother words i need help and love but ill prefer not to due to hyper independance hehe

[ritafcollard]

as someone who stood up for my older sister, I feel like I'm the older sister sometimes....

Their's so much relieve in hyper independence, but for that you have to pay a price and that is loneliness. Forever alone...

Being the eldest daughter made me realize that at the top of the totem pole are the blessed 8-10s. Learned to be independent and literally strong as early as HS because you can’t wait for help when almost all of them are busy kowtowing to the 8-10s. And now when you look around you and see that some men can’t do what you can you have the urge to downgrade your expectations/standard or just trust in God’s plan.

I’m the eldest daughter I relate sm ur so relatable I love watching you 😭

[emi_ly-wm]

I’m such an emotional person that tears are like my way to show my feelings 😅

As a middle child with my older sister being 7 years older but the person i look up to most, it hurts to only see her like once every year. I try to be like her but its hard because of the age gap

[Rosie-ipbw]

i’m a middle child and a right in between my cousins so there’s no one my age in my family but i feel like i take care of my younger sister and cousins more than their parents do and my older sister helps me sometimes but it’s my older cousins showing me the way of life then my aunts, uncles, parents or grandparents
